He did not give details about the attack.
The company has been facing mounting pressure from the United States, which last month further tightened restrictions to choke Huawei's access to commercially available chips.
In August, Richard Yu, the CEO of Huawei's consumer business unit, said that starting on September 15, the company would cease manufacturing its most advanced chips under its Kirin line.
Those are the chips that power Huawei's high-end phones. Concerns that the company's phone division will fold has led consumers to rush to purchase the company's handsets. Vendors say that prices have spiked by as much as 500 yuan ($73.69) for some devices in response to high demand.

The U.S. restrictions, however, allow for companies to apply for a license from U.S. authorities in order to continue supplying Huawei. Already, some businesses have attempted to make use of the policy.
Intel has said it has received licenses to supply certain products to Huawei. China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp, which uses U.S.-origin machinery to produce chips for Huawei, also said it has applied for a license.
